Abstract (en)

A combined bearing and sensor assembly comprising a sensor unit 30 and a bearing unit 40. The sensor unit 30 includes a coupling ring 10 which has a radially inwardly directed lip 22 which engages with a groove 11 formed in the inner raceway 18 of the bearing unit 40. The coupling ring 10 also has an axially extending portion 5 the radially inwardly facing surface of which engages with a sensor unit mounting surface 8a such that the sensor unit's engagement to the mounting surface 8a is greater than its engagement to the bearing unit 40). In this way the combined bearing and sensor unit may be sold, transported and fitted as a single unit but will separate to allow the sensor unit 30 to remain properly mounted when the bearing unit 40 is dismounted for general maintenance purposes. <IMAGE>
